Many of the early Citadel Fantasy Tribes and Fiend Factory pieces were based on creatures designed for D&D and
published in White Dwarf before being made into minis. For example...
FF13-1 Bonesnapper
White Dwarf #6 (April 1978) invented by Ian Livingstone and illustrated by Alan Hunter, and later appeared in the Fiend Folio.
and here's another:
FTG4 - Gnoll Chief
Russ Nicholson WD 24 April/May 1981 for an article by Lew Pulsipher on D&D - although the mini was advertised slightly prior to the publication of that pic.
In a bizarre twist of fate, Russ drew the miniature based on his drawing to illustrate miniatures in Dicing With Dragons (1982)
and another
FF30-3 Zombie
Coffer Corpse, invented by Simon Eaton, illustrated by Russ Nicholson - White Dwarf #8 (August 1978)
Has anyone already compiled a list they would like to share? or help identify match the figures to their original art?
